"I am happy to recommend KHO Language Services. I was very satisfied and deeply impressed by the proofreading carried out on the final manuscript of my PhD thesis. Kay did a close and careful reading of the text within the time frame we had decided upon. Her grammatical correction of errors and suggestions for improvement of the text were exactly what I wanted and needed in order to revise the text before publication. She treated the text with the utmost respect. Knowing her ability and sincere commitment, I strongly recommend her for proofreading services."

"I contacted Kay for proofreading of my Master Thesis and could not have made a better choice.

"I am not a native speaker of English and I am aware of the importance of accurate language, especially but not only when it comes to academic texts. I find that many colleagues, albeit fluent, overestimate their own writing skills and I am always annoyed to see slight mistakes in texts that are supposed to reach an academic readership. I entrusted my monograph "Islam and the Quest of Modern Science" to Kay Hutchings. She demonstrated all the qualities that I appreciate in a colleague and in a proofreader: very accurate, rapid, and also ready to answer my questions regarding the reasons for a specific correction, or the different options I could think of. I strongly recommend her."Stefano Bigliardi, Postdoctoral researcher, Centre for Middle Eastern Studies, Lund University, Sweden

"Thank you so much for editing the webpage text We Call Them Vikings. I have already forwarded it to our web administrator and let's hope it will appear soon on the website. Thanks again – for your generosity and your patience!"Michaela Helmbrecht, Museumspartner, Innsbruck, Austria

"I’ve received many favorable comments on Kay’s article, so much so, that I’ve asked her to consider writing a series of articles to help my members develop their writing skills. Kay has excellent writing skills. She is a pleasure to work with. Whatever your writing needs – sales letters, squeeze pages, brochures, direct mail, articles and blog posts, editing and/or proofreading -- you can’t go wrong by engaging her services."Bud Bilanich, Career Mentor and Best-selling Author, USA

"Kay proofread the English and Swedish portions of a diary translation I led in 2015. It is a rare primary source document about the only Swede of African descent who was a member of the Swedish Royal Court in the 18th century. ​This was a public domain project from my heart. So I needed an expert to be the final pair of eyes. She made sure every missing period was added and alternative definitions of archaic words were included (among other countless and grueling edits). She accommodated my workflow with Microsoft Word tracking and even PDF when we were in the layout stage. I feel 100% confident in her English and Swedish editing skills. I have other projects that will need her expertise and I cannot think of anyone else to hire but her! Skål to Kay!" Eric Basir, USA

Thank you for your work. I hope to have my defense early spring!Andreas Johansson, Ph.D. candidate, Research Associate,SASNET, Research coordinator, Lund University

Kay Hutchings-Olsson did an impressive proofreading of my thesis. She arranged my thoughts and writing better than I have ever could without even knowing me or the topic, I am impressed beyond words! I have adopted nearly all her suggestions and made a lot of notes to improve my future writing. I was really surprised by how well she split the text chunks into paragraphs according to the content, which gave me a better overview of my own thesis.Likki-Lee Pitzen, M.Sc. Asian Studies, Lund University

Thank you so much Kay for speedy delivery - and quality. You are one of my favourite translators.Kiran Gerhardsson, doctoral student in environmental psychology, Lund University
